Letters from a longed-for pet provide comfort and entertainment for a lonely boy in a heartfelt and gently humorous tale from bestselling author Piers Torday
“One of all-time favourite authors, Piers Torday, has teamed up with dyslexia-friendly publisher Barrington Stoke for the first time and it's a winning combination! A funny, moving, beautifully told story that will appeal to readers, and animal-lovers, of all ages.”
~Emily
Jamie is in hospital waiting for a life-changing operation. And to make a difficult time even harder, he’s fallen out with his dad and refuses to speak to him when he comes to visit.
To keep his spirits up, nurse Shirley suggests he writes a letter to the dog he desperately wants to adopt from the local dog home. But imagine his surprise when Dog writes back!
Piers Torday began his career in theatre and then television as a producer and writer. He is the author of the Last Wild trilogy, titles within which have won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, been shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the UKLA Award, and nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
